Celebratory activities are planned for today to mark the ‘big day’.
The program starts at 11am and goes through to the afternoon – hundreds of Baha’is from around Honiara and Guadalcanal will join together to enjoy a devotional service, dancing, feasting, and entertainment.
Other Baha’i communities in most of the provinces of Solomon Islands will also mark today’s event with some forms of celebrations.
The public are welcome to join the Baha’is at the Baha’i centre Honiara to celebrate this very happy day
The Bahá'í Faith is the youngest of the world's independent religions. Its founder, Baha’u’llah (1817-1892), is regarded by Bahá'ís as the most recent in the line of Messengers of God that stretches back beyond recorded time and that includes Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Krishna, Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammad.
The central theme of Bahá'u'lláh's message is that humanity is one single race and that the day has come for its unification in one global society.
God, Bahá'u'lláh said, has set in motion historical forces that are breaking down traditional barriers of race, class, creed, and nation and that will, in time, give birth to a universal civilization.
The principal challenge facing the peoples of the earth is to accept the fact of their oneness and to assist the processes of unification.
One of the purposes of the Bahá'í Faith is to help make this possible. A worldwide community of some six million Bahá'ís, representative of most of the nations, races and cultures on earth, is working to give Bahá'u'lláh's teachings practical effect.
Their experience will be a source of encouragement to all who share their vision of humanity as one global family and the earth as one homeland.
